大多數人並不知道自己缺乏哪方面的知識，所以那些大眾化且未必有深度的知識必然大受歡迎。 大多數人並不是因為知道自己缺什麼，然後去彌補，而是受社會、媒體和包裝影響而做出選擇。 很多知識只是長得像知識而已，很多人也只是裝作很愛學習而已。

當發現讀書無用時，有人嘲笑學習，有人抱怨內容太晦澀、太淺顯、翻譯品質太差。 這些問題也許存在，但這些指責和抱怨忽略了最需要對學習結果負責的人─學習者本人。 讀書有用還是無用，關鍵在於學習者是否具備使學習有用的能力。

學員們在聽到新知識的興奮之後，在經歷培訓現場的激動之後，在給予高分評價回饋之後……他們到底能改變多少？ 還是所謂的「聽聽激動，想想感動，回去不動」？ 職場工作者學習效果的瓶頸主要不在「教」，而在「學」上。

成人的學習能力分為三個層次： 1 內化與應用知識、 2 分析與整理資訊、 3 追問與思考經驗。

以學習者為中心，而不是以知識為中心，要用知識連結學習者的過往經驗、規畫具體的應用場景。 所有學習都應該本著為自己的知識體系添磚加瓦為原則。

Religion often partakes of the myth of progress that shields us from the terrors of an uncertain future.

I think almost all manic depressives exhibit some kind of criminal behaviour, even if it's something as minimal as shoplifting, but then they often go on to bigger and better things - in my case, it was fraud.

Sometimes I like to watch TV, though I never get to watch any of the shows in real time. I'm a fan of 'Downton Abbey,' 'Boardwalk Empire,' and 'Boss.' There's a British series called 'Luther,' but in England, they think a series means four episodes. And I like 'Mad Men.' Otherwise, it's always good to unwind with a book.

Words are only as good as the response to those words.
